Randy’s Pick
The Arizona Coyotes have lost 5 of their last 8 games, and they’re having issues finishing games despite showing flashes on the offensive side. The St. Louis Blues head into this contest playing the better hockey, and they have a defense that travels well. I cant lay juice with the Coyotes given their losing ways. Give me the Blues and the more reasonable price.
